Hi @mixelpix 

What HTML tags are supported in Gmail?

I tested as well and was not able to get the a href ping to fire.

@mixelpix 

Try using an email app that offers open/link tracking.

For example Mailgun: https://zapier.com/apps/mailgun/integrations#triggers-and-actions

Then you can have a Zap that triggers/filters for the desired click event.

@Troy Tessalone thanks for the suggestion!  I will check out the related topic.

Another option is to add some JavaScript to the page where the link clicks thru to.

...oh, I didn’t realize this was an option with the Catch Hook url.  The Zapier action supports this, or is there additional wizardry involved?

To clarify, the webhook url i wanted to use as the html <a>nchor ping returns a text string from the “success” json object (or can be opened in silent mode which renders a blank page).  This is poor UX for the client.  Are you saying the I can add HTML code to the catch hook url, or per the example you linked, are you suggesting I use a code step after the hook is caught to parse the query parameters?

@Troy Tessalone what do you recommend for hosting a webpage?

@Troy Tessalone mostly just looking for a better option than what the catch hook’s return page loads: json or blank appended with /silent mode… With a proper webpage I could have a choice confirmation button which loaded a thank you screen along with sending the <a>  ping=URL to the catch hook

Mostly just looking for solutions to send a “yes or no” poll to clients so the response makes it back to Airtable to trigger further actions relative to the answer.

Thanks @Troy Tessalone 

I haven’t used miniExtensions, but I have watched a bunch of their demo videos.

From what I can tell, the forms they produce give quite a lot of leeway in what can be exposed relative to the linked table’s structure.

I am envisioning a table which may have several records per client, but I want to have the outreach be discreet per each client’s record, e.g. in a month, five records may be created which reference the same client, and I would want them to only see the one at a time.

The table is essentially a join of two other tables.  The client would be joined to another data structure, and each join it’s own unique case to manage.

Do you know if miniExtensions facilitates such constraint, or would it allow the client to see all of the join records on the table?  From what I can tell, I could use miniExtensions in a Zap per constraint, i.e. I would need to create a miniExtension Zap actions per client record on the linking “join” table (which would be prohibitive).

@Troy Tessalone thanks, I will!

Before I dive into that rabbit hole, am I understanding you correctly - like, for a customer support agent to send an outreach email to a client per a specific record, miniExtensions creates a specific url the client can use for the access to update fields on that one record?  I.e. with a triggering single-select or checkbox, we could fire of a zapier action to send an email to the client with the miniextensions link embedded in hypertext for any of the records on the table as they get created?

@Troy Tessalone After updating, the client ends up with this?

Or is the response message also customizable?

sweet 👍
